TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention described herein relates to a macrolide compound. More particularly, it relates to new crystalline forms of the macrolide compound, to processes for the preparation of the crystalline forms, and to pharmaceutical compositions containing the forms.

BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is appreciated that compounds considered as candidates for further development as pharmaceuticals advantageously possess desirable biological properties, but also physical properties that adapt them for use in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products. For example, compounds that form stable solids, including crystalline solids may be more readily manufactured and formulated. It is further appreciated that individual physical forms of the compound that are stable and additionally that may be prepared substantially free of other physical forms may also be more readily manufactured and formulated. It is to be understood herein that different physical forms may have markedly different physical properties, such as different solubility characteristics, different bioavailabilities and/or biological exposure, different stability, and the like.

In US patent application publication number US 2006/0100164, there are disclosed certain macrolide antibiotic compounds. The foregoing publication, and each additional publication cited herein is incorporated herein by reference. One of these macrolides is a fluoroketolide having Chemical Abstracts Registry Number 760981-83-7, which is also known as CEM-101 and solithromycin. The preparation of an amorphous form of CEM-101 is described therein. An alternative preparation of CEM-101 is described in WO 2009/055557. CEM-101 has the following chemical structure:

It has been discovered herein that CEM-101 can be isolated in a variety of crystalline forms which provide illustrative embodiments of the invention. CEM-101 can be isolated in crystalline form as a material having a range of different physical properties, depending upon the method of isolation. This is because CEM-101 can exist in more than one crystalline form, i.e., it exhibits polymorphism. CEM-101 can be isolated in at least two crystalline forms, denoted herein as Form I and Form II, each of which is pure or substantially pure and/or free of or substantially free of the other form. Various mixtures of Form I and Form II can also be isolated. In addition, solids which are mixtures of one ore more crystalline materials and also include amorphous solids can be obtained.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Illustrative examples of X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) spectra for each of Form I and Form II are given in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, respectively, showing degrees 2θ on the X-axis and relative intensity on the Y-axis.

More detailed listings of the peaks for each of Form I and Form II are provided below in Tables 1-4 in the Examples, in which peaks are denoted as % relative intensity (I/I₀×100). It is to be understood that in the X-ray powder diffraction spectra the exact values measured for °2θ (or the corresponding d-spacings) may vary depending upon the particular sample analyzed and the particular analysis procedure used. A range of values of at least ±0.1 °2θ, and in some cases at least ±0.2 °2θ, may be typical. Measurements on independently prepared samples on different instruments may lead to variability which is greater than ±0.1 °2θ and/or ±0.2 °2θ.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The new physical form, Form I of CEM-101 is a crystalline form which may be described by its X-ray powder diffraction pattern. Peaks at approximate positions of about °2θ=8.8, 10.5, 13.2 and 18.6 are representative of this crystalline form. An example of an X-ray powder diffraction spectrum for Form I is shown in FIG. 1.

Water determination by Karl Fisher titration in typical lots is 0.6 to 1.1%. Dynamic vapor sorption indicates that the material is partially hygroscopic, but Form I solids are isolated upon desorption. Form I of CEM-101 melts at about 200° C. by DSC analysis.

As another embodiment, there is described a pharmaceutical composition comprising CEM-101 in crystalline form as described in any of the descriptions herein and further comprising at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.

Illustratively, compositions may include one or more carriers, diluents, and/or excipients. The compounds described herein, or compositions containing them, may be formulated in a therapeutically effective amount in any conventional dosage forms appropriate for the methods described herein, and include one or more carriers, diluents, and/or excipients therefor. Such formulation compositions may be administered by a wide variety of conventional routes for the methods described herein, and in a wide variety of dosage formats, utilizing known procedures. Capsules and tablets are embodiments commonly used for oral administration of antibiotics. See generally, Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, (21^(st) ed., 2005), as well as an illustrative formulation composition in the Examples.

As another embodiment, there is described a method of treatment of a bacterial infection, a protozoal infection, or a disorder related to a bacterial infection or protozoal infection comprising the step of administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of CEM-101 in crystalline form as described herein, or a pharmaceutical composition thereof further comprising at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.

As another embodiment, there is described a use of CEM-101 in crystalline form as described herein for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of a bacterial infection, a protozoal infection, or a disorder related to a bacterial infection or protozoal infection.

As a further embodiment, method or use described above is one wherein the subject is a mammal, a fish, a bird or a reptile. As another embodiment, there is described a method or use wherein the subject is a mammal. As another embodiment, there is described a method or use wherein the subject is a human.

The term “therapeutically effective amount” as used herein, refers to that amount of active compound or pharmaceutical agent that elicits the biological or medicinal response in a tissue system, animal or human that is being sought by a researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor or other clinician, which includes alleviation of the symptoms of the disease or disorder being treated. In one aspect, the therapeutically effective amount is that which may treat or alleviate the disease or symptoms of the disease at a reasonable benefit/risk ratio applicable to any medical treatment. However, it is to be understood that the total daily usage of the compounds and compositions described herein may be decided by the attending physician within the scope of sound medical judgment. The specific therapeutically-effective dose level for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors, including the disorder being treated and the severity of the disorder; activity of the specific compound employed; the specific composition employed; the age, body weight, general health, gender and diet of the patient: the time of administration, route of administration, and rate of excretion of the specific compound employed; the duration of the treatment; drugs used in combination or coincidentally with the specific compound employed; and like factors well known to the researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor or other clinician of ordinary skill.

As shown in the interconversion of slurries experiment summarized below in the Examples in Table B, slurries of Forms I and II are prepared in 2-propanol (IPA) and 4-butanone (MEK) at ambient, sub-ambient, and elevated temperatures. In 2-propanol, conversion of Form I to Form II appears to be solubility driven at ambient and sub-ambient temperatures, with little apparent change observed in the ratio of Forms I and II by XRPD analysis over 3 days. Extending the interconversion period to 8 days at room temperature left only a trace of Form I remaining. In 2-propanol, at elevated temperature, only Form II is obtained. Experiments based on 2-butanone did not have the apparent solubility limitation and gave Form II as the only observed form at sub-ambient, ambient and elevated temperatures. Based on these experiments and the DSC results, but without being bound by theory, it appears that Form II may be more stable than Form I throughout the temperature range. In addition, but without being bound by theory, the DSC results suggest that Form I and II are monotropically related.

As shown below in the Examples in Table C-1, Form I exhibited greater aqueous solubility than Form II over a pH range from 9.2 to 1.2.

When the forms of CEM-101 are dosed in a vehicle in which the compound is well solubilized, there is no observed difference in measured pharmacokinetic parameters, including Cmax, Tmax, and AUC, among Form I and Form II. When the forms of CEM-101 are dosed in a vehicle in which the compound is present as a solid, there is no statistical difference in measured pharmacokinetic parameters, including Cmax, Tmax, and AUC, among Form I and Form II.

In another embodiment, crystalline forms of CEM-101, and mixtures thereof, are described herein that show improved solubility compared to amorphous forms of CEM-101

EXAMPLES

X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD) Peak Positions.

XRPD patterns were collected using an Inel XRG-3000 diffractometer equipped with a curved position sensitive detector with a 2θ range of 120°. An incident beam of Cu Kα radiation (40 kV, 30 mA) was used to collect data in real time at a resolution of 0.03° 2θ. Prior to the analysis, a silicon standard (NIST SRM 640c) was analyzed to verify the Si 111 peak position. Samples were prepared for analysis by packing them into thin-walled glass capillaries. Each capillary was mounted onto a goniometer head and rotated during data acquisition. The monochromator slit was set at 5 mm by 160 μm.

Alternatively, XRPD patterns were collected using a PANalytical X'Pert Pro diffractometer. An incident beam of Cu Kα radiation was produced using an Optix long, fine-focus source. An elliptically graded multilayer mirror was used to focus the Cu Kα X-rays of the source through the specimen and onto the detector. Data were collected and analyzed using X'Pert Pro Data Collector software (v. 2.2b). Prior to the analysis, a silicon specimen (NIST SRM 640c) was analyzed to verify the Si 111 peak position. The specimen was sandwiched between 3 μm thick films, analyzed in transmission geometry, and rotated to optimize orientation statistics. A beam-stop and a helium atmosphere were used to minimize the background generated by air scattering. Soller slits were used for the incident and diffracted beams to minimize axial divergence. Diffraction patterns were collected using a scanning position-sensitive detector (X'Celerator) located 240 mm from the specimen.

The data presented herein contain X-ray diffraction patterns and tables with peak lists. It is to be understood that the range of data collected may be instrument dependent. Under typical circumstances, peaks within the range of up to about 30 °2θ are selected. Although peaks may be labeled on diffraction patterns and listed in tables, it is to be understood that different rounding algorithms may be used to round each peak to the nearest 0.1 or 0.01 °2θ, depending upon the instrument used to collect the data and/or the inherent peak resolution. Should there be a difference, the peak positions listed in the tables should be used. The location of the peaks along the x-axis (°2θ) in both the figures and the tables may be automatically determined using appropriate software, which is typically resident on the instrument used and rounded to one or two significant figures after the decimal point based upon the above criteria. Peak position variabilities are given herein to within +0.1 °2θ based upon recommendations outlined in the USP discussion of variability in x-ray powder diffraction (United States Pharmacopeia, USP 32, NF 27, Vol. 1, pg. 392, 2009). The accuracy and precision associated with any particular measurement reported herein has not been determined. Measurements on independently prepared samples on different instruments may lead to variability which is greater than ±0.1 °2θ. For d-space listings, the wavelength used to calculate d-spacings was 1.541874 Å, a weighted average of the Cu-K_(α1) and Cu-K_(α2) wavelengths (Phys. Rev. A56(6) 4554-4568 (1997)). Variability associated with d-spacing estimates was calculated from the USP recommendation, at each d-spacing, and provided in the respective data tables.

When multiple diffraction patterns are available, then assessments of particle statistics (PS) and/or preferred orientation (PO) are possible. Reproducibility among XRPD patterns from multiple samples analyzed on a single diffractometer indicates that the particle statistics are adequate. Consistency of relative intensity among XRPD patterns from multiple diffractometers indicates good orientation statistics. Alternatively, the observed XRPD pattern may be compared with a calculated XRPD pattern based upon a single crystal structure, if available. Two-dimensional scattering patterns using area detectors can also be used to evaluate PS/PO. If the effects of both PS and PO are determined to be negligible, then the XRPD pattern is representative of the powder average intensity for the sample and prominent peaks may be identified as “Representative Peaks”. In general, it is appreciated that the more data collected to determine Representative Peaks, the more statistically significant is the classification of those peaks.

CEM-101 Form I.

One PANalytical pattern and one Inel pattern were analyzed for this material, and therefore at least partially optimized orientation and particle statistic effects could be assessed through comparison with multiple patterns.

Hot Stage Microscopy and DSC

Form I of CEM-101 exhibits a melt onset at about 180° C. and final melt at about 200° C. by hot stage microscopy and exhibits endothermic events at 170 and 197-198° C. by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Form II of CEM-101 exhibits a melt onset at about 215° C. by hot stage microscopy and a DSC peak at about 225° C., as a single endothermic event. Mixtures of varying amounts of Form I and Form II have exhibited endothermic events at 194-199 and at 219-225° C. by DSC, depending upon the ratio of the forms. It is to be understood that hot stage microscopy and/or DSC may be used to determine the presence or absence of certain forms in the compounds and compositions described herein.

Example

The stability of Form I and Form II of CEM-101 was evaluated under various conditions, as shown in the following Tables. In each case, there was no observed change in color of the test material during the entire study. In each case, the test material was first placed in Primary Packaging Material (LLDPE bag within a HMHDPE/LDPE/LDPE blend bag, and then heat sealed). The Primary Packaging Material was placed in Secondary Packaging Material (HDPE drum). All other impurities were less than 1% at each time point.
